Reviews

"THE VISITOR, is, if anything, more imaginative and touching than his first."

   - Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

"As a writer-director, McCarthy, like the characters and the places that he suffuses with emotion, has poetry in him - and he knows how to let it out. He has a talent for demarcating those spaces in which characters can become whoever they want to be."

   - Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun

"It works on several levels, and stands out as a wistful meditation on the psychological cost of 9/11."

   - William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"Eloquent and unassuming, it's a picture that hits home precisely because it doesn't overreach its grasp."

   - Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

"The curious thing about THE VISITOR is that even as it goes more or less where you think it will, it still manages to surprise you along the way."

   - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
